Abstract

Cocaine detection plays a crucial role in protecting public health, maintaining law and order, and safeguarding communities from the harmful effects of cocaine abuse and trafficking. In this chapter, we report on recent developments in existing voltammetric methods for detecting cocaine, addressing its presence in seized powders alongside impurities or added substances. Voltammetry is favored for its high sensitivity, selectivity, and versatility in electroanalytical applications. By exploring various methods and electrode materials, the chapter offers insights into improved cocaine detection techniques based on voltammetry. We aim to advance discussions and assist professionals in adopting more efficient and reliable methodologies for detecting cocaine.
